"Helped my daughter with more than just piano

I never realized how much positive growth my daughter would gain from learning music.

Abby was a shy ten ye

ar old when she first started taking piano from Marie. After a year of working with Marie, Abby is doing better in school, has friends, and has come out of her shell. I do believe learning music in a supportive, loving environment helped her. Abby said to me the other day that with a little practice and hard work she can do anything; shoot for the stars and you might just land on the moon. That is something I have heard Marie say to her before too.

I cannot recommend her highly enough."

Review by Matthew

"Just an all-around pleasure!

Eva is an incredible vocal coach as well as a confidence coach. The things she taught me and had me do not only strengthened

my ability as a singer, but made me more comfortable with developing my own voice and performing in front of others.

She is also very personable and flexible in helping me with whatever I want to do. She isn't the type to try and cram material down your throat that doesn't interest you or in some way help you to get where you want to go.

I always look forward to my next lesson and wish that I could afford longer ones because I feel like I'm constantly growing whenever I'm there."

"Andrew is an incredibly knowledgable and talented teacher

Andrew impressed me from our very first lesson. He listened to what I wanted to get accomplishe

d with my lessons and adapted to my requests and my skill level. His knowledge of music is just one of the things that makes him such a great teacher. His patience and enthusiasm also make him the perfect instructor!

I would highly recommend Andrew!"

Review by Mika

"Best piano teacher I've ever had

I took piano lessons with Mario when I was 10-15 years old until I moved out of state. Before Mario, I had 2 other piano

teachers and this is what I always tell people: I learned nothing from the first one (she only lasted one or two lessons), I learned my foundations from my second teacher (who I was with from ages 4-10), and I learned my musicality from Mario.

Mario is incredibly passionate about music and passes it onto his students. Since I had already learned basics (i.e. I already knew how to read music), I didn't know what to expect. However, I never could have reached the levels of technical mastery, emotional connection, and style I have without him.

I took 1 hour lessons once a week with Mario for almost 5 years.At that time, we (his students) were not performing in recitals. Instead, Mario prepared us for an annual audition for the American College of Musicians / National Guild of Piano Teachers, of which I am the recipient of multiple awards.

I am so grateful for the time I spent as his student!"

Thank You Again for your wonderful lessons and good luck for the future."

Take Guitar or Bass Guitar lessons from an experienced teacher and Hartt College graduate. In person one on one private lessons or webcam lessons if that is more convenient. Your lessons will be customized for what you want to learn. Rock, Blues, Folk, Country, Classical, Music Theory, chord playing, lead guitar, music reading, songwriting etc. Lessons can be as easy or challenging as you like depending on your goals. If you are new to guitar or bass guitar, if you tried playing guitar before and it didn't work out, or if you have been away for awhile, I'll do my best to make it a rewarding ex

perience. If you have been playing for many years but feel stuck in a rut, I can get you out of it and teach you things you have wanted to learn. Great teaching environment. I also have free supplementary lesson videos available here (at takelessons) and on my website.

I've enjoyed my bass guitar lessons with Bob, and look forward to learning even more from him. I had some music background from my teens, and Bob adapted his lessons to fit my experience. His studio is a great environment and the location is perfect for me.

Bob is a great teacher. He is kind, patient, and talented. He caters each lesson to the things that I most want to learn. As an adult learner, I didn't want to be stuck playing "Mary Had a Little Lamb" for 6 months. So Bob started me out with fun songs from the 60s plus newer stuff from bands like the White Stripes. Plus, he is not only teaching me the bass, he is teaching me music theory as well. He is always on time, and is very focused during the lesson so that I get the most out of every minute that I'm there.
